It is not currently full view, but the copyright page is viewable. They should open it up next year when it falls out of copyright.

Yeah, it's pretty funny, isn't it? You should read Freddy the Detective and Freddy the Politician if you haven't already.maxgal wrote: ↑January 25th, 2022, 9:21 amBelieve it or not... I had never heard of Freddy until a friend gave me Freddy the Detective a few years ago.
I still can picture all the little animal detectives skulking around & spying on one another -- I mean, surveiling.

Freddy the Pig is awesome! When I was in elementary school we had a 9-hour car ride to go visit our grandparents multiple times a year, and reading made most of us incredibly carsick. My mom would borrow the Freddy audiobooks from the library so we could listen to them in the car. Our other favorites were Barbara Brooks Wallace books such as Sparrows in the Scullery, Peppermints in the Parlor, etc. (which alas, I just checked, are very far from public domain.)

So many great books in this thread! I think for me it would be Greenglass House by Kate Milford. It is such a delightful mystery book, with such a unique (to me) setting, and a beautiful underlying narrative. I would love to try to bring the characters to life.
P.S. In checking Google to verify the author's name, I found out this is a series! I guess I need to read the next books in the set now...

When The Neverending Story enters public domain, I'll be about 80 years old. And then I can play Morla the Old in a DR of it. I'm calling dibs now, btw.

Narziss and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse. It is very descriptive and detailed.

Uh, yeah, you're wrong. "Public domain" means "not under copyright". You better believe that publishers and authors keep their works copyrighted for as long as they can!
As a general rule of thumb, books fall out of US copyright after 95 full years after publication. So a book published in 1940 is still under US copyright (and will be public domain January 1, 2036).

The Price of Salt OR Carol by Patricia Highsmith. It's tied for my all-time favorite book and the audiobook version of it I heard didn't have the same emphases that were in my head. Also, in 2029, The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury will be 50 years old and I LOVE reading that book out loud and would desperately want to record that one.

I'll allow myself to dream for a moment...I'd love to record someday something by Chilean science fiction writer Hugo Correa, such as his volume of short stories "Cuando Pilato se opuso".
And something from "Songs of the Dying Earth", a collection of short stories by different authors to honour Jack Vance.
